The document discusses key concepts for understanding art including considering an artwork's techniques, context, and intent to derive meaning. It also discusses how improvisation can add distinctive quality by introducing spontaneity and unexpected changes. Artists may appropriate other works to get viewers to recognize images in a new context and analyze their original associations. There are two types of forgery - simple ones without signatures and simulated ones attempting to copy a known signature either freehand or traced. The document provides an example of Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa and discusses appropriation as properly adopting or recycling pre-existing objects with little transformation applied.

LESSON 10 – SOULMAKING, APPROPRIATION AND IMPROVISATION
Assessment: 1. What are the important things the viewer or audience must consider to derive meaning from the artwork? The most important things a viewer must keep in mind to derive meaning from art is the techniques of the medium, the context it was created in, and the intent of the artist if known. Artists develop a variety of techniques that have particular meanings through tradition.
2. How can improvisation contribute to the distinctive quality of artwork?
For some artists, infusing spontaneity and improvisation adds up to the totality of the work of art. The unexpectedness of the changes brought about by improvisation makes the artwork to have a distinctive quality that creates its individuality and identity.
3. What is the reason why artists appropriate art?
Appropriation artists want the viewer to recognize the images they copy. They hope that the viewer win bring all of his original associations with the image to the artists new context, be it a painting a sculpture, a collage, a combine, or an entire installation.
4. What are the two forms of forgery? Explain each.
Two types of forgeries exist, simple and simulated. A simple forgery is one in which no attempt has been made to imitate a genuine signature. A simulated signature is one in which the forger has attempted to copy a known signature. The known signature can be copied freehand or it may be traced. 2 Activity: Leonardo da Vinci was the founding figure of the High Renaissance and exhibited enormous influence on subsequent artists. Mona Lisa is described as “the best” known, the most visited, the most written about, the most parodied work of art in the world. In such a way that it is already doing the action of producing a copy of a certain image with using of pre-existing objects or images with little or no transformation applied to them. The use of appropriation has played a significant role in the history of the arts. In the visual arts, to appropriate means to properly adopt, borrow or recycle. Notable in this respect are the ready- made of Marcel Duchamp.
